//------------------------------// // Chapter 28: The greatest cannon in the history of ever! // Story: The Last Human // by Blackdragn18 //------------------------------// Oh come on! I had it all planned so perfectly and then a stupid muffin ruins it all. Granted, the looks on their faces were priceless. Then I heard a lot of hoof steps, and when I turned around, Twilight was right behind me and tackled me to the ground. “Agh! Get off me you purple nuisance!” I pushed her off and stood back up dusting myself off. Twilight got back up and punched me in the leg. “Ow! What was that for?” “You jerk! You had us all convinced you were dead!” “Not my fault you guys are so presumptuous.” So after some reunions and some conversations they all apologized to Spike. So yep things are getting back to normal apparently they had not told the country about my death so it was pretty easy for me to just come back. That’s convenient. Okay, so I found one benefit to being dead for a bit. Ever since I came back Celestia has been very clingy. She keeps insisting we spend time together. I’m fine with that because we don’t hang out much these days so it works. How interesting, I’ve been back for about a month now, and I just got an invitation from Ponyville. I was eating breakfast when one of my guards came in and handed me a letter. Hi Sean, so I want you to come to Sugarcube Corner to meet my new friend. I call him Gummi you totally need to come see him! It will be so awesome and fun! Sincerely Pinkie Pie I guess context is needed. You see after the third year of having to put up with those children I decided to try and befriend as many of them as I could. Pinkie and I really connected, we pulled some pranks and now when I go to get some cider, we have lunch. And when I say lunch I mean a bunch of candy and cupcakes. So I guess I better go meet this ‘Gummi’. So when I got to Ponyville I headed straight for the bakery. When I walked in the door the owners Mr. and Mrs. Cake were just sitting there. “Hello Sean, you here to see Pinkie?” they told me she was in her room. I headed upstairs to Pinkie’s room. When I step inside, I notice that it’s empty. I walked farther in when suddenly there was an explosion and then confetti and balloons were flying everywhere. I turned and there was Pinkie with some sort of cannon. “Hi Sean! What do you think of my new party cannon?” she then shot it pointed at a table and fired, and a table cloth, cake, and balloons all went on the table. “That is likely the coolest cannon I have ever seen! Let me try.” She moved aside and let me get behind the cannon. I pointed at a wall and fired. The wall was then covered in balloons and confetti. This is so awesome! “Ok that is fun. So where is this Gummi you want me to meet?” “Oh yeah Gummi! Look!” she then walked to her bed and pulled out a small alligator. She walked over and dropped him in front of me. “So this is him?” “Yep!” “For some reason I thought he was going to be a pony.” “Well he’s not silly; he is my new pet alligator.” “So why Gummi?” “Simple, look.” She then opened his mouth and I saw that there were no teeth in his mouth. “So Pinkie, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?” I was sitting on her bed while she was playing with Gummi. “Well we could go pull some pranks.” “Awesome! I have some great ideas!” “No offense Sean but I think we should stick with my ideas.” “Why?” “Because your last idea involved gluing Rainbow Dash and Applejack together.” “Oh come on, that would have been hilarious!” “No that would have been mean.” “Okay fine, let’s hear your ideas.” “Yay!” So Pinkie did have some pretty great ideas. First we found Rainbow Dash while she was clearing the skies. Every time she would destroy a cloud I would fly and grab another one and put it right in the same place. She eventually caught on, but luckily she had a good sense of humor. We were walking down the street when I thought of a new trick. “Hey Pinkie I have an idea!” “It’s not mean is it?” “Of course not.” “Alright then, let’s hear it.” “Okay, what we do is we convince the apples that their orchard is on fire and when they go to put it out, we soak them in rain.” “Sean that’s still pretty mean.” “Fine.” So Pinkie and I pulled pranks for the rest of the day until it was time for me to head home. “Well Pinkie it was a lot of fun, you should come visit me at the palace sometime. There a whole array of new pranking victims. We could even get Celestia.” “That sounds absolutely fantastically exciting!” she bounced up and down. “Well see ya.” I then turned into a dragon and flew off. Okay this weird, I have been having these strange dreams. Every time I see the old human village then I see the Bolas monument. After that I wake up and feel an urge to go there. The thing is I don’t want to go there but I may have to. I can’t take it; I have to head to the village. Lately the dreams are getting worse, but also I am starting to feel like I did the first time the dragon migration came along. I mean I am feeling stabbing pains in my chest and I keep partially changing into a dragon. So I woke up tonight feeling the pains, so I decided it was time. I opened the doors to my balcony and flew off towards the village. I remember where it was because my father’s journal had a map in it. When I was reasonably close to it a searing pain came from my chest and I started to lose control until I crashed into the ground.
